2023 East Cape EVO Carbon Series with Mercury 115 ProXS — delivery walkaround

Check out the walk around as Kevin goes over some of the features of another beautiful EVO that left the shop recently.

Build notes

This 18 EVO V carbon-series build heads to the Panhandle for full-time charter work. Carbon fiber runs through the deck, hatches, cockpit and console, while the hull stays aramid and e-glass — East Cape's rule above 20 horsepower. A guide-mounted trolling motor, removable spotter platform, and four removable anchor points keep it client-ready, with lithium batteries feeding a Mercury 115 Pro XS CT. Running a 23-pitch prop, it cruises in the mid-50s loaded down.

Taken from the walkaround — what Kevin points out on the boat.

Every East Cape is built to order in Longwood, Florida — one at a time, around how its owner fishes. This is one of them.
